About

I heart post is my blog dedicated to all things postal - stamps, first day covers, airmail, postcards, letters and aerograms.
In particular my blog is about my stamp collection.

Four reasons to heart post:
  1. Stamps are beautiful
  2. Stamps tell you about history
  3. Stamps are tiny and ephemeral, and collecting them is FUN
  4. Stamps contain a promise of correspondence
I am based in Melbourne, Australia. My stamp collecting has been a daggy, well kept secret - up until now. Recently I have chosen to embrace my hobby wholeheartedly and declare my love of all things postal to the world.

I also like knitting and jigsaw puzzles -- but don't despair, I don't plan to inflict blogs about all my nanna-hobbies on the world just yet.  I also like going out into the world and seeing people sometimes too.

At the moment I aim to update this blog each Wednesday with a new post on post, which might contain my musings on stamps, history, art, or collecting; or all of the above. I have recently begun posting on Sundays as a participant in Viridian's Sunday Stamps - this gives me a chance to pick out stamps based on a theme for the week, and leads me to think about things that I might not otherwise think about. It's fun!




I would love to receive any comments, queries or random musings. Please let me know what you like about my blog or if there is anything you would like to see more (or less) of!
